Superman & Lois General News & Discussion Thread (TAG SPOILERS!)

Definitely a wait and see for me. Judging by appearance alone, he would not have been my first choice for the role.

 

Rosie shaved his head for seven years. His entire run on the show. He only wore a bald cap for the series finale. Basically, two scenes.

 

I hope that Michael Cudlitz' version of Lex Luthor will be based on the current comics version.

 

I binged half of season 1 yesterday. Loving it and so glad there’s going to be more to come after I finish season 2.

 

I’m up to the beginning of episode 13 of season 1 now. The family stuff and Clark Lois material is better than any live action Superman material I’ve seen. The threats are just fluff in relation to that, but getting that core stuff right means it’s so easy to keep continuously watching. I loved the history part of Episode 11, yes.

Don’t want this to end!

 

At least one or two more seasons in the tank. Good news.

'Superman & Lois' Has 'One or Two More Seasons Left,' DC Chiefs Say - Variety

 

I dont mind that much. If this show can get 5 seasons, that's a good run.

 

And also: "Anyone cast on the DC TV side as a character will also respectively play that character on the film side." (From a Deadline article.)

But the timing should work out — vis-à-vis the release of a future movie and the natural lifespan of this series.

 

So similar to Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Mmmm interesting

 

Personally, I would prefer to get five seasons from this show with Brainiac being introduced as the main villain before it wraps up.

 

Should get 10 seasons like Smallville. At least it didn't take 10 seasons for Superman to fly and put on the costume though.

 

Well, the “one or two more seasons” might just be one. And that one might be the upcoming 3rd season. However, there’d still be time to squeeze in a 4th before the alleged July 2025 release of an alleged theatrical film.

My understanding of the biz (which is pretty feeble): The ultimate fate of S&L rests with the CW, not Gunn. But unless S&L starts pulling in crazy, Game of Thrones-level ratings, there's little likelihood of conflict. By the time 2025 rolls around, the CW will have cleared out more of its older shows.

 

Sounds like Greg Berlanti is completely done with DC Studios now. Or more accurately, they are done with him.

By the sounds of it, The CW will renew the show for a fourth and final season to air next Spring. This gives the show plenty of time to wrap up its story and get off the runway in anticipation of Superman: Legacy.

 

In that case I’ll take 2, thank you.

 

I don’t think that’s ever going to happen again on tv lol.

 

Depends, did Gunn include the un-aired season 3 in "one or two seasons" comment? Or does he mean one or two season after season 3. If the show continues to air in early 2024 and 2025, they could get two season in before the Superman movie.

 

Honestly they Should just move it to there streaming service and out of the CW imo.

 

I'd say one or two more seasons after season 3, which was already set in stone. If a 5th season happens, the show would end in early-2025.

 

Two hopefully, 5 seasons would be a good run.
5 seasons with no budget cuts, letting this end on a high note with Brainiac or so...that would be sweet.

 

Clark even has the stubble! Ha!

 

I found it slightly amusing that both Gunn and Saffran had nothing to say regarding Gotham Knights' fate.

 

Perhaps because Gunn and Safran don’t think Gotham Knights will last long. (A good bet, given the series’ pedigree and network. ) Therefore, it’s a problem/conflict that will disappear on its own. ...Or perhaps GK qualifies as an “elseworlds” story. (An alternate universe where Batman is dead, etc.) Also perhaps: there are few (if any) characters in GK that would be duplicates of anyone in the main/non-elseworld continuity.

 

Pretty good fan art that gives you an idea at what Michael Cudlitz will look as Lex with shaved head and minus beard.
